This is how I play the song. It sounds quite similar to the album but I don't guarantee
that the band plays it that way.
I haven't included the solo for now. Have fun playing this great song from a great album
by a great band.
band: Sahg
song: Slip Off the Edge of the Universe
album: Delusions of Grandeur (2013)
tuning: drop D
I. intro: 6 chords (play 3 times each, listen to the album for the rythm)
e --3--3--------3--3--3-|
B --3--3--3-----3--3--4-|
G --5--3--3-----5--4--3-|
D --5--5--5-----5--5--5-|
A -(3)-3-------(3)-3--6-|
D -----5-----------5----|
The last one can be played like this:
e -6-
B -6-
G -8-
D -8-
A -6-
D ---
note: the sung part is played like this too
=============================================
II. Interlude after the intro, play:

III. Sung part ("Master of Astropolis, Verging on the black abyss...")
See "I. intro": same chords and rythm
==============================================
IV. Chorus ("Circle the night, devious satellite...")
e -------------------------------------------------|
B -------------------------------------------------|
G -------------------------------------------------|
D -------------------------------------------------|
A ---------5---------5-3-0---------3---------3-1-0-|
D -0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-------1-1-1-1---1-1-1-1-------|
Sounds nice to slide the notes on the A string (up or down).
You can also play this only on the low D string for badass slides.
D -0-0-0-0-12----0-0-0-0-12-10-7----1-1-1-1-10----1-1-1-1-10-8-7--
e ---------|
B ---------|
G ---------|
D -1-3-5-8-|
A -1-3-5-8-|
D -1-3-5-8-|
(play chorus again)
==============================================
V. Rythmic guitar while solo
You don't really need to learn the three patterns because the changes are very small.
For 100% accuracy, check the album.
